Linda's Bar and Grill temporarily closes

Posted Sep 7, 2020
Linda’s Bar and Grill, located between Time-Out and Bonchon on East Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, announced through Twitter on August 24 that it is temporarily closing. This decision comes following UNC's return to classes and a corresponding spike in COVID-19 cases. Linda’s first opened on Franklin Street in 1988, a staple at Carolina for over 30 years.
